Necessity for Seif-Denying Work.

1t is not owing to the limitations of
Gods wisdom or power that He needs
human agents through whom to work.
He says to his people of old: IF l
were hungry would not tell thee. for
the world is Mine and the fullnes
thereof" The same truth is referred
to by Paul when in writing to the Phil
ippians he says: mot because de-
sire gift, but l desire fruit that may
abound to your account" The need
of men for unselfish work imposes up
on God the need for human agencies
in the work He has to do. In accord
ance with soul laws there can be no
soul-growth without benevolent work.
Hence the church that is not interested
in such work is dead church. The
protesting Christian who is doing moth
ing for those Christ came to save has
none of the Masters life in him. He
is not like branch abiding in the vine
that is bringing forth fruit, but more
like those that are withcred, which
men gather and burn. This necessity
for unselfish, self-denying work as
means of soul-growth explains the Sc
cret of the wonderful reflex influence
of mission work upon churches and
persons engaged in it-Rev. 4. L.

Facts Suggesting the Paramount Import

Facts suggesting the paramount Import.
ance of Address.
Every school-boy can recall Demos
themes aciion-actiOn-actiOn theory of
OratOry. According to it the orator
ideas and vocabulary are insufficient,
unless backed by the physical aids of
voice. manner, figure and gesture.
There are four modern orators whose
reputation. as handed down by tradi
ton. justify the theory. They are Pat
rick Henry. Mirabeau, Chatham and
Whitcfield. Neither the reported
speeches of the statesmen nor the pub
iished sc-mons of the clergyman ac-
count for the oratOrical effects they
produced. Much must be allowed to
the great occasions. when men as in
fammable as finder were kindled by
fiery words. But even this fact is not
sufficient to explain tn. traditional
reputation of these orators. They
must have spoken with voices that ex-
pressed shades of passion. with looks
that accumulated and with gestures
that emphasized their breathing
thoughts.
Danton looked to audacity for sue
cess. These four men were as auda-
cious in their utterances as human
holiness would permit Henry's la
nous r. ~ to the interrupting speak
or: ''lr this be treason. make the most
of it, is paralleled by Chatham's: Il
hope some dreadful calamity will befall
the country that will open the eyes Of
tie King"
''Order! orderr' shouted the House.

the audacious orator. II have spoken
con li.ionally. but now retract the
condition. Ispeak it absolutely. and
l hope that some signal calamity will
befa'l the country"
II know there is but one step from
the Capitol to the Tarpeian Rock.
Numbered Mirabeau, when denounced
in the assembly for his friendship to
the royal family.
A greater orator than either of these
four. if we take into account the
matter and style of his speeches. was
Edmund Burk. Fancy. imagery beauty
of diction. wide views. deep thoughts
and 4 continuous stream of argument
are to be found in his great speeches
Yet many of them failed of effect when
delivered. because the speaker dA not
utter them with the voice. manner,
figure. or gesture of an orator. When
Burk threw dagger on the floor Of
the House, eXclaimlng. These are the
presents which France designs for
your the members laughed; and
Sheridan said: 1.-The gentleman has
brought us the knife. but where is the
fork?" But when Chatham waved
his crutch. it became an instrument Of
oratory, and the House was rs silent
rs if awed by the wand of a mighty
magici,n.
These facts suggest the Importance
of address. 1t is not enough that the
speaker have something to say, and
can say it in fitting words. He must
speak it so that the hearers shall feel
it. To do this he must be aided by
voice, manner, attitude and GESTURE

WOMAN'S RIGHT TO PREACH.

A Plea for Women in the Pulpit-Have
They Not the Right to Preach the Cos
pei:
Some years ago. Miss Sarah Smiley
pleaclel in Cincinnati. so much.to the
edification of the people that she con-
verified many persons to the doctrines
of Jesus, was complimented by having
her sermons published IN the daily pa
pers of that city. and upon her arrival
in Brooklyn, n. Y, soon after was in
vited to preach in Presbyterian
church. But Il woman preaching in a
church so excited the ire of the Scribes
and Pharisees. that they called its pas
tor before synod to account for his
action. where they so berated him for
having thus helped this servant of the
Lord in the thing she had need of. that
the poor man was driven in self-de-
tense to say tina: he had not invited
Miss Smiley to preach to the men. but
to admonish the women. One irate
man went SO far as to say that it was
an insult to Almighty God that a wom-
an had been allowed to speak in house
dedicated to her Heavenly Fathers
service.
A recollection of these facts has inn
pressed very deeply upon my mind the
need of women being admonished to
stop listening in silence to any charge
against their Heavenly Father in refer
ence tothem, which, if brought against
their earthly fathers. would make them
cry aloud in his and their defense. Ishall
be glad if You will help me to accom-
plish it. by publishing this letter in
your paper.
Christ says: Except We be con-
verted aud become as little children,
We shall not enter into the Kingdom of
Heaven" And verify l believe that
except women attain to a childlike
faith in the justice of their Heavenly
Father. they will not even obtain that
equal dominion over earthly things
with their brother men. which the
Holy Scriptures tell rs God gave to

tice done to them by tie Heavenly
Father, women impute iniquity to
God. and blind men to a perception of
their own injustice. What earthly
father do We know mean enough to
command his daughters to keep silence
in his house? Where is the brother
who thinks it a shame for his sister to
speak in his presence? And ..shall
mortal man be more just than God?
Shall man be more pure than his
Maker?"
